Malivoire Courtney Gamay 2021, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment

Zenato Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico Docg 2018

Big, bold, heavy even, with fruit already feeling compote like, it sure packs a robust punch.

Maria Papoila Loureiro/Alvarinho 2023, Doc Vinho Verde

Crisp, clean, dry yet fruity, calls for grilled sardines or any other salty marine treat. Lovely.

Domaine De La Creuze Noire Belle Vue Saint Amour 2022, Ac, Sustainable

Château Larose Trintaudon 2016, Ac Haut Médoc

Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Colchagua Valley

Lovely! The Colchagua Valley keeps delivering! And the Montes show with their 2009 Cab Sauvignon that they can win you even when your palate has more references for comparison.
Priced low for what it delivers. Enjoy.

Domaine Thunevin Calvet Cuvée Constance 2008, Ac Côtes Du Roussillon Villages

Maybe I had to high expectations.
It would be unfair though to speak of disappointment. This is a very nice wine, bound to improve in another 2 years, albeit it won't increase it's complexity, but just layer more neatly what it already has.

Errazuriz Max Reserva Syrah 2010, Aconcagua Valley

Lovely. Hands down over comparably priced Australians.

Condado De Haza Tinto 2008, Do Ribera Del Duero

Beautiful Tempranillo. It is bound to get better within a couple of years, so, open one now, enjoy, and put away a few bottles. Another nice find if you are looking for the distinctive dark berry aroma of the Duero, and have a suckling pig in mind for your dinner!

E. Guigal Cotes Du Rhone 2009, Ac

Guigal has many reds, covering a wide spectrum of quality. This Cote Du Rhone, 2009, is a happy quality/price compromise. Very enjoyable and very accessible. Drink it now (2013). Fruity -berries-, medium bodied, balanced tannins and pleasant mild acidity.
